I don't what has happened because I haven't made any changes but Basically the machine (The OS) recognised the hard drive all of sudden. I have had so many issues with this computer, I am starting to wonder whether the hardware is faulty.

The bios has recognised the hard drive from the start, because I can't take the unit apart as it's a massive industrial machine with two many screws. That's how I got the hard drive model, ok maybe lazy, but I don't have the time to indiviually take out a hundred screws.

Anyhow I had created a slip stream disk with SP3 intergrated and I thought I had slip streamed the drivers for the raid. I think that was a waste of time, because I think it needs the drivers for the hard drive.

Fortunately for me I deal with HP most of the time, and they are so simple to change to from SATA Mode to IDE Mode.

Thanks for the advice anyhow.
